In less than a month, I will receive my roommate assignment. Never in my life have I ever moved or shared a room with anyone.

So, to my future roommate...

This will probably be the most awkward introduction I'll ever have. We will go from being complete strangers to living in the same room for the entire year in a mere six weeks. There are so many nerves that come with getting a random roommate assigned off of a five-question survey. I hope that when you get your assignment, you don't judge a book by its cover; there is so much more to a single person than what is posted on social media. Although getting to know someone in such little time is very difficult, I hope that we can get along. I'm not expecting us to be best friends, but friends would be pretty cool.

I hope that we can coordinate well, and I really hope we are the same size and have some awesome clothes. Sharing has never been my thing, but since we will be sharing a room I think we should share clothes too. Does that work for you? I hope you will tell me when I don't match or when I really need to pull myself together, because my mother won't be there to do that. I hope that when I'm a mess you can tell me, but be slightly nice about it. I know I can be a mess. I have never had to share in my life. It's going to be an adjustment. I'm sorry that you will be the first. I promise I will try not to be a slob.

I hope that we can help each other out after a bad day and make each other feel better or celebrate a really good one, maybe even check up on each other to make sure we are alright after a long night. Someone has to always be looking out for you; who knows if we will be each other’s person?

I hope that we don't get in each other's hair between our schedules. Me waking up at 5:45 in the morning three times a week...the last thing I would want to do is wake you up then, or be in the way when one of us has people over. I hope we can be friendly with each other's friends and overall get along pretty well.

About 50 days until move-in!

Sincerely,

Your Future Roommate
